US will work with Pakistan on intractable issues to keep relationship alive: Grossman

Washington: Dubbing the United States-Pakistan relationship an important one for both countries, US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Ambassador Marc Grossman has said that the Obama administration wants the relationship to work.

Grossman, however, also highlighted that the both the governments and the people must recognize that terrorism is a threat to both the countries.

The US Special Representatives statement comes as part of a series of statements from the US State Department and the Pentagon in the last three days to move away from the air of hostility that was created following Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullens statements on the Haqqani network and its links with the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency.

The question is not whether we will work together, but how well work together to try and deal with these issues, Grossman told the Express Tribune.

I dont know if people in Pakistan will agree, but we ought to be able to find a way to identify our shared interests and act on them together. We can work our way through this, thats what friends do, we can work our way through the challenges, he added.Washington, Sep 29(ANI): Dubbing the United States-Pakistan relationship an important one for both countries, US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Ambassador Marc Grossman has said that the Obama administration wants the relationship to work.
